OT - Hedo's wife unhappy in Toronto

Hmmmmm...something's conflicting.

Oh, well.

They're probably both making it up ... and I still don't care.

 

Why would his wife leave a warm city during the winter time in Canada. When it's summer, I'm sure she'll make her way over with Hedo's daughter. Once she comes, she won't wanna leave. For those who haven't been to Toronto, it's fucking awesome.

 

Agree Toronto's pretty nice. So is Portland. Both are better than Orlando unless you are taking the kids to DisneyWorld

 

I wonder how much of Bryan Colangelo's hot pursuit of Hedo was based on KP wanting him? In the same way we have a tendency to justify a player by saying "Well, SA wanted him, so he must be good". I wouldn't be surprised to have seen Colangelo sell the Toronto ownership by saying, "Yeah, I know he's old, but we expect him to play at the same level or even improve. After all, Hedo was Kevin Pritchard's first choice and we know what kind of talent evaluator he is. He is willing to sign him to a five year deal, we should beat that offer."

 

Canzano isn't worth my effort to read. Plus I won't support him by clicking his link.

Hedo isn't worth my effort to boo. Plus I wouldn't flatter him by doing it.

The important thing here is that Hedo kept KP from making the worst move of his career. Plus if we'd signed Hedo, Nico would be Turkey-Glued to the bench right now. That would suck.

 

A-fucking-men

 

I enjoyed the fact JJ got a round of applause. Goes to the whole Blazer fans being knowledgable. We're not cavemen who boo at everybody. WE boo Turk for playing with our organization this summer and we cheer JJ for the attitude and commitment he gave the Blazers when playing here.

Hats off to the RG crowd yesterday.

 

...and, if Nic hadn't have had the opportunity to "prove" his worth, Outlaw and Blake might still be with the team.

KP should send Hedo and his wife on a vacation anywhere they'd like.

 

How about a vacation to Toronto? Apparently she's never been

 

Plus from what I hear they have quite the Turkish community there.

 

You remember that Hedo snatched the camera phone from some groupies trying to photograph him in a Toronto nightclub. He was without his wife there, consistent with his story to Canzano that she hasn't visited Toronto. But this poster says Hedo lied to Canzano.

"Hedo's wife has definitely been to Toronto. I bumped into her, Turkoglu, their kid and bodyguard in Yorkville earlier this season."

What was the original source for his wife influencing him toward Toronto?

July 3, 2009
"A source says Turkoglu’s wife wanted badly to live in Toronto, a far more European-style city"

article says original source had been "Ric Bucher's Twitter feed"

"Toronto's shot at getting Hedo: apparently his wife loves the city. Any (happily) married man can tell you how much weight that carries."

So, once you've been there, it sucks?

My Canadian cousins say it's dirty, un-Canadian, and smells like France.

 

Here's the latest story, adjusted from the Canzano version. His wife HAS been to Toronto while he's been a Raptor (only occasionally), but she had never been there BEFORE that. I think that Canzano said she has never been there, ever.

"Turkoglu said that as of last July, his wife had never even been to Toronto, and since then she has continued to live in Orlando with their small child, visiting Toronto only occasionally."

If his wife is unhappy, it's probably a "performance" issue.

 

Is it the dread "double dribble", or does he just shoot too early in the shot clock?

 

Or maybe he has sexual performance problems with his penis.
